I recieved a drawing in which the coordinate values are a thousand times too high; they are in millimeters and I need them in meters. I checked the settings of the drawing, and it clearly says that it´s in millimeters, but it doesn't change the setting or to copy the whole drawing into a new file with meter settings.
How I can change the coordinates to meters?
I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.

So far what's happening is that I end up with all the z values multiplied by 3.08... (I assume it is trying to convert the meters to feet..., but since I already have feet in the DEM ... no good)

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy drawing settings is set for US Feet. My Data Collector is set for US Feet. I only import a txt file into the drawing. My txt file coordinates match my Data Collector but never in the drawing. We're only talking about hundredth but I don't understand why it changes in the first place.
Example
Point 1 in txt file & DC --- 10000N 5000E
but in drawing --- 9999.98N 4999.99E
Point 2 in txt file & DC ---- 9624.7230N, 4971.5346E
in drawing ----- 9624.7422N, 4971.5445E
I have generated a batch of several thousand drawings, and then realized that my 'Page 3' paper space is positioned over page 2 in the model! Is there a way that I can tell 'Page 3' to change position to co-ordinates of my choosing, using only script, so that I can write a batch program to change them all?
My only other option is to correct the error in the master drawing and generate all the thousands of drawings again, which is why I'm keen to explore alternatives!
I have a lot surfaces. Now i need change coordinates.

I often create points manually. You get that dialogue box where you choose the layer and the default local coordinates, etc etc.
The local coordinates setting always defaults to Northing/Easting. (ditto the grid coordinates).
I set it to Easting/Northing as is standard around these parts and do my points, but if I close the box, when I reopen it to add more points later, it is back to Northing/Easting.
I cannot find a variable to control this behaviour.
I never need points to have north first and would like it to default to Easting/Northing at all times. Yes I'm using the Metric template.
Is there a way to change this default?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't know what to do with my drawing Units and Scale.
I want to draw in Meters! But when i make a rectangle 30x15m it looks so small that i can't see it in my draw. Using my scale is 1:1 and Units Meters.
I tried changing my scale and my units and the rectangle still looks the same way it was. If i want something to look big, i have to draw in mm, for example, 30000x15000mm rectangle.
But, when i do that, everything go wrong...For example, when i draw a rectangle in mm (30000x15000) and i change the line style in layer command or when i try to hatch/linear dimension and etc all looks very small or very big.
What's the easiest way to draw a floor plan?
I still cant understand about the units. I open acad iso template to work in mm and the insertion scale is also showing in mm.what if i want to draw in meters or cm.

Can i change the drawing to be in millimeters?
Im sure I have read somewhere about scaling it but being a newbie im not sure how to do this and cant find where id read it on the web.
How can I be 100% sure that my template is set to meters. I am getting conflicts with Civil 3D and would have sworn our template was set to meters.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are able to measure distance in meters between 2 points using COGO tools. Though, when meassuring areas (command area) even setting units to meters it shows: "Area = 0.00000073, Perimeter = 0.00343123" which is not expressed in meters. The area in meters is around 8900m2. We are using latitude, longitude LL84 (WGS84). Is there a way to easily measure area over the map using this coordinate system?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some annotation scale in my drawing but over the course of the last year many have come from different places.
We use Annotation scales called Meters 1:1000 but another company we work with use 1:1000m. Is there a way to merge these two annotation scale to Meters1:1000?
Is there a way to change the annotations so that they become millimeters and not meters?
I dont really want to change my entire drawing to millimeters because i have other drawings in my model space which suit meters. It's just this one section I have drawn is so detailed and zoomed in, it really should be in millimeters.
If there isn't i'll just change the whole drawing, but thought I should ask on here first in case I was missing something obvious
I need to measure how many square metres are each individually steps. I tried to use the area command but I can't get out whit this.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a METRIC project (that I want to make template) that uses meters instead of millimeters.
So I created a new project, without the use of any template. I copied from the default Autocad templates folder the Model and Sheet templates to the new project folder and I set the units, scale and grid to meters and changed the path in project properties to these files.
Everything seems to work fine, except creations of sections/elevations.
I edited the SectionStyles (Metric).dwg file in default styles folder and It works fine.
But I donțt want to change that file in the default folder, but to change the path of the section styles in the project. The only way I could do that was to change it in the tool palette - right click on callout.
So how can I make the SectionStyles to load from a specific location for a project without having to right click on every callout that I want to use and change it manually?
There are some other things to do/change for making the project template that I want? (I am referring to the units setup).
I have a set of dimensions in meters and I am trying to automatically convert to feet. So I am going to the Dimension Style that rules the numbers that I want to convert and after clicking in Modify button>Primary Units I go to Linear dimensions group and change the Unit format from decimal to Architectural and 100 m turns to 8' - 4" not to 328.08'.

We need to convert the file to a useable architectural and feet set up. I know that I will need to scale the existing dwg however I am not sure what the exact steps are or what I should scale it by. Should I change the drawing units first and then scale? Or the other way around? Biggest thing I need is the scale factor.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm new to AutoCAD and I'm trying to scale a floor plan (the outer edge is the land perimeter). I have tried just about everything I could find on the Internet but can't seem to get it to work. I attached a copy for reference.
Basically I'm trying to scale it at 6.85 x 11 meters so that it will be accurate.
I am new to AutoCAD and I want to draw something in it, I have taken screen shot of a google map and placed it in AutoCAD, Now I want this map to be scaled proper size, for example I have 880meter x 330meters but placed object is only 20' x 15'.
How can I resize it or how can I make my drawn line to be exact 880meters ? ( I will resize my picture according to my drawn line).
